Commentator Carl Higbie raised concerns over automatic voter registration laws and state election practices, arguing that policies adopted by Democratic-led states have created pathways for non-citizens to be placed on voter rolls, while accountability measures remain limited.
Higbie focused on laws that expand access to driver’s licenses without proof of citizenship, noting that many of those same states automatically register individuals to vote when a license is issued.
“Major parties who helped get Democrats elected can’t even say that non citizens shouldn’t vote, and using that ambiguity for cover many states like Minnesota signed into law that everyone got a driver’s license,” Higbie said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed the state’s “driver’s license for all” legislation into law in 2023.
At the signing ceremony, Walz confirmed its enactment, saying, “It’s Done.”
A reporter describing the scene said, “A packed room at the St Paul armory erupted after the governor’s signature made driver’s license for all the law of the land.”
Higbie said the issue extends beyond Minnesota, pointing to automatic voter registration systems in place across much of the country.
“Sounds great. Currently, 25 states, though, also automatically registered you to vote when you get that driver’s license,” Higbie said.
“So you, by law, can get a driver’s license without proof of citizenship, but then you’re automatically registered to vote when you get that license and then placed on voter roll. So when you show up to the polls, most of these states don’t even have voter ID anyway.”
